Dingping Army, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the total strength of the Xianbei Department was 260,000 people, including 150,000 at the root of Budu, 110,000 at the Kebi Neng Division, and now the total strength of the Xianbei Department has reached 350,000, of which the root of Budu has expanded by nearly 50,000 people, and the Kebineng Department has expanded by nearly 40,000 people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the Xianbei Department, when the Dingping Army went out to quell the rebellion, 50,000 new recruits in Bingzhou and other places, 8,000 new recruits in Hedong, although the Dingping Army lost a lot of losses, but brought back more than 200,000 prisoners of war, of which more than 130,000 had surrendered, and the rest were not because they didn't want to join the Dingping Army, but because they couldn't meet the recruitment standards of the Dingping Army, and those who were willing to continue to serve as soldiers could only go to the local army first.

Speaking of the local army, the local garrison under Zhang Yi alone has exceeded 80,000, accounting for one-ninth of the total strength of the Dingping Army, that is to say, the total number of the Han army has reached about 350,000, and the total number of the Dingping Army has approached the 800,000 mark.

800,000 ah, just people eat horses and chew, the daily consumption is astronomical, Zhang Yi looked at the data reported below, and felt that his head was big.

"Nearly 30,000 stone of grain is consumed in one day, my mother," Putting down the report in his hand, Zhang Yi scratched his head irritably, thinking about it in his heart, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "It's time, another wave of cleaning plans." ”

A large amount of money and food was consumed, so that the demon in Zhang Yi's heart woke up again, but at the moment the food in Zhang Yi's hand was enough, and he was not in a hurry, the most important thing at the moment was to solve the marriage first, after all, Zhang Jiao's days were numbered, but before the marriage was resolved, Zhang Yi still had to solve Ding Yao's problem first, so on the second day, Zhang Yi successively invited Guan Yu and Ding Yao to his mansion and arranged for the two of them to meet alone.

After receiving Zhang Yi's order, Guan Yu rode to Zhang Yi's mansion without saying a word, but after arriving, the golden sword guard who stayed behind said that Zhang Yi went to the old lady and asked Guan Yu to do a little in the main hall, and Guan Yu didn't do it long, Ding Yao also arrived, perhaps for the sake of coming to see Zhang Yi, Ding Yao, who has always been dressed as a man when she goes out, came in women's clothes this time.

"Huh?"

After seeing Ding Yao, Guan Yu's first reaction was to be stunned, and then hurriedly got up and hugged Ding Yao's fist, and then asked, "May I ask if Miss is ......?"

Guan Yu's eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Ding Yao, he felt as if he had seen Ding Yao, but he didn't seem to have seen it, so he didn't react for a while.

"Brother Guan, little brother is polite."

In order to remind Guan Yu of who she was, Ding Yao specially made a gift when she met Guan Yu before.

"Oh!" After seeing Ding Yao's salute, Guan Yu suddenly realized, "Are you Ding Zhao?" ”

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Zhang Yi, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately understood.

"My God," patted his forehead rather depressedly, Zhang Yi muttered in a low voice: "Yun Chang, this stunned man, I didn't know that Ding Yao was a woman dressed as a man, and now it's troublesome!" ”

Next, Zhang Yi thought that Guan Yu would say something different after knowing that Ding Yao was his daughter, but he didn't expect that after Guan Yu knew that Ding Zhao was Ding Yao, he would be about to leave immediately, if it wasn't for the golden sword guard to stop him and say that Zhang Yi was going to find Guan Yu for a while, Guan Yu might have left at that time.

Although he was stopped by the Golden Dao Guard, Guan Yu, who returned to the main hall later, did not take the initiative to talk to Ding Yao, Ding Yao tentatively accosted Guan Yu, but Guan Yu has always been with a straight face, answering a few words when asked, which made Ding Yao quite unhappy.

Looking at Guan Yu with a straight face, Ding Yao bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Brother Guan, what's wrong with you?" What did my little sister offend you? ”

didn't even look at Ding Yao, Guan Yu, who didn't squint and didn't squint, replied coldly: "Miss is serious, Guan and Miss don't know each other, where did the word offense come from?" ”

Hearing Guan Yu say that he didn't know Ding Yao, Zhang Yi, who was hiding in the shadows, was stunned.

If Zhang Yi was stunned, then Ding Yao was completely stupid.

A pair of big eyes blinked several times, and Ding Yao asked inexplicably, "Why don't we know each other?" ”

Brushing his beautiful hair, Guan Yu said seriously: "Guan knows Ding Zhao, not Ding Yao." ”

When Guan Yu spoke, there was some gambling in his tone, which made Zhang Yi secretly surprised, he felt that Guan Yu should be more or less like Ding Yao, if there was no little bit of liking ingredient, then how could he be angry?

Guan Yu's tone of voice made Ding Yao a little uneasy, and she tried to ask, "Brother Guan, you won't be angry with me, right?" ”

"How dare you, how dare you."

waved his hand, Guan Yu's tone of voice was still not salty, as long as he was not stupid, he could hear the dissatisfaction.

Slightly embarrassed to smile, Ding Yao said softly: "Brother Guan, I was ...... because it was easier to go out in pretending to be a man."

"So you're lying?"

As if he finally couldn't help it, Guan Yu began to question Ding Yao in a choked voice, and Guan Yu seemed to be really angry, and his face, which was already slightly red, instantly turned dark red.

Guan Yu's questioning was really loud, not only frightened Ding Yao to jump up from the chair, but even Zhang Yi, who was hiding in the side room, was startled.

"I'll go!"

Patting his little heart beating wildly, Zhang Yi finally believed it at this time, Guan Yu is a person who is not close to women, otherwise, which man would reprimand a beautiful woman so loudly, but he seems to have forgotten that not long ago in Cai's mansion, he had just yelled at Cai Da Beauty.

Guan Yu is a loyal and courageous husband, coupled with the tiger power he has raised in the military camp and on the battlefield in the past two years, his anger is indeed quite terrifying, Ding Yao is a little woman, where has she been so frightened, even if she is so frightened, she doesn't even dare to come out.

Raising his eyes and glancing at it, Ding Yao calmed down his mind and explained: "I'm not lying, I'm ......"

"Humph!"

Without waiting for Ding Yao to finish speaking, Guan Yu snorted heavily, and then said angrily: "I treat you as a brother in vain!" ”

"This ......"

Guan Yu's word 'brother' made Ding Yao's eyes roll and he thought about it.

"Brother Guan, you are a dignified husband, don't be like me, a little woman," After saying in a slightly coquettish tone, Ding Yao said with a smile: "You see that I don't have a brother, and Brother Guan, you don't have a sister, I don't think it's better to be like this, is it okay for Brother Guan to be my brother-in-law?" The elder brother is on top, and he is worshiped by the younger sister. ”

After speaking, Ding Yao knelt down in front of Guan Yu without hesitation, bowed his head and bowed.

"Hmm!"

Ding Yao's words made Zhang Yi in the side room almost choke on a mouthful, he didn't expect that things would develop to such an extent, but he expected Guan Yu to reject Ding Yao, because that would show that Guan Yu liked Ding Yao.

"What are you doing, hurry up," Seeing Ding Yao's actions, Guan Yu, who was still angry, panicked instantly, and said to Ding Yao with a panicked face after he stood up: "Hurry up, what will you look like if people see this?" ”

"If my brother doesn't forgive me, I won't get up."

Ding Yao may be a snake, and she is quite good at climbing along the pole, but Guan Yu hasn't agreed yet, so she called her brother over there, which made Guan Yu even more overwhelmed.

Guan Yu walked to Ding Yao's side and wanted to drag her up, if Guan Yu really used brute force to drag Ding Yao, with Ding Yao's small body, it was estimated that it would be as simple as pulling onions, but after Guan Yu really stretched out his hand, he stopped in mid-air, because he thought of whether men and women should kiss or not.

Looking at Ding Yao who was kneeling on the ground, Guan Yu, who had nothing to do, had to nod and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I recognize you as a girl!" ”

"Hehe, thank you, brother."

With a sweet smile, Ding Yao immediately got up from the ground, and then helped Guan Yu to sit down, smiling and serving tea.

Not to mention how Ding Yao and Guan Yu, the newly recognized brother and sister, are easing their relationship, just talking about Zhang Yi hiding in the side room, he is now speechless and dead.

"Oh, I'll go, I'm letting them go on a blind date, why are you so close to each other that you are worshipping each other?" Looking at Han Tao next to him in disbelief, Zhang Yi scratched his head and said, "Where the hell is this?!" ”

Zhang Yi, who was already speechless, really couldn't sit still and couldn't listen anymore, he got up directly and went out through the side door, turned around and slipped out of the back door, because he wanted to pretend that he had just come back from his grandmother.

Guan Yu and Ding Yao did not become husband and wife, but became brother and sister, which was completely beyond Zhang Yi's expectations, but things were already like this, and Zhang Yi was powerless to change anything, so he could only go with the flow.

When Zhang Yi pretended to have just come back from his grandmother, Ding Yao was still pulling Guan Yu to tell the story on the battlefield, after seeing Zhang Yi come in, the two of them stood up, Guan Yu hugged his fists and bowed deeply, Ding Yao bowed down, and her graceful waist was indeed worthy of the word beauty.

After seeing Ding Yao, Zhang Yi pretended not to know and asked, "Hey, Miss Ding, didn't I say that we would go out for horseback riding together in the afternoon?" You're ......."

"No, General Zhu told me that it was morning?"

Shaking his head, Ding Yao looked inexplicable.

"Really? This blessing is fair, and even a word can be passed on wrongly! ”

Zhang Yi shamelessly threw the pot to his subordinates, but that's right, his subordinates are here to carry the black pot for their bosses.

Zhang Yi, who didn't blush when he lied, said again: "Oh, I mean in the afternoon, call your little sister Wu and let's go horseback riding in the suburbs together, but since you're here, it's okay for us to go now, hey, by the way, I just heard you call Brother Yun Chang, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yi has now trained his face thicker than the city wall, pretending to be stupid and acting like the real thing, he knows what he knows, but he also stubbornly says that he doesn't know, and there is no one else with this lying technique.

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Ding Yao smiled and said, "Because I worshipped General Guan as my eldest brother." ”

Pretending to be surprised, he glanced at the two, and Zhang Yi suddenly smiled: "You worshipped Yun Chang as the eldest brother?" Then you are my fifth sister. ”

Before, Zhang Yi made the decision and let Zhang Ning's son recognize Zhao Yun as his father-in-law, so that Zhao Yun also became Zhang Yi's sworn brother in disguise, the fourth of the three brothers, and Zhao Yun could also share Zhang Yi's sworn skills, so if Ding Yao worshipped Guan Yu as the eldest brother, then she would naturally be the fifth.

Zhang Yi said this because he wanted to block the relationship between himself and Ding Yao by the way, as long as Ding Yao also became a member of their alliance, then he and Ding Yao would no longer have the possibility of getting married, but how could Ding Yao fall into Zhang Yi's trap so easily?

"No, no, no,"

Waving his hands again and again, Ding Yao pulled Guan Yu's robe sleeve and said with a smile: "I worship the eldest brother, I worship the eldest brother, it has nothing to do with you, in the future, this is my eldest brother, General Zhang Fei is my second brother, and General Zhao Yun is my third brother." ”

The relationship of swearing does not mean that after a group of people swear, a few more people are added in, and the previous group of people are sworn brothers with the new ones, but it depends on whether both parties admit to the relationship with each other, for example, if a person swears with two different groups of people at the same time, the two groups of people who don't know each other are considered to be sworn brothers? Of course it is impossible.

"Huh?"

Blinking, Zhang Yi pointed to himself and asked, "I'm their eldest brother, you just dumped me like this?" ”

Although he was laughing in a half-joking tone, he was actually secretly complaining in his heart, he was planning to promote Guan Yu and Ding Yao, but he didn't expect Ding Yao to flick his wrist and give Zhang Yi a trick, and let Zhang Yi put Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun together, and Zhang Yi couldn't say anything, so he could only swallow his bitterness in his stomach.

"This Miss Ding, that ......"

"Brother Tianshao..."

Zhang Yi was about to break the relationship between Zhang Yi and Ding Yao, when Xiao Wu suddenly killed.

"Huh? Sister Ding! ”

After jumping and jumping into the main hall, Xiao Wu first hugged Guan Yu with a fist, and then ran over and hugged Ding Yao with a look of surprise.

Hugging Ding Yao's slender waist, Xiao Wu asked excitedly, "Sister Ding, why are you here?" ”

"Oops~"

Afraid that Xiao Wu would expose his lies, Zhang Yi hurriedly stopped Xiao Wu, and then said to Ding Yao with a smile: "Okay, since Xiao Wu is here, let's go horseback riding in the suburbs." ”

"Huh? Horseback riding? ”

Xiao Wu, who never said that she was going to ride a horse, was a little confused by Zhang Yi's words, her little face was full of 'what are you talking about', and Zhang Yi broke out in a cold sweat when she saw it.

After dragging Xiao Wu over, Zhang Yi pinched her arm a little harder, and then said, "That's right, didn't you say that you were going to call Miss Ding to go horseback riding in the suburbs in the afternoon?" You forgot? ”

"Huh? Ah~ Oh, yes, yes, yes, that's the case, didn't I come? ”

Xiao Wu is a smart girl, she was pinched by Zhang Yi's arm, and when she understood what Zhang Yi meant, she nodded quickly, and at the same time said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, let's go with you." ”

"No, General Xiao Huang," he owed slightly, and said, "I still have military affairs, so I ...... it."

"Hey, that's it, today's big thing is also pushed back."

Interrupting Guan Yu's words, Zhang Yile said: "Yun Chang, go and call everyone else, and then let's go outside the city to ride horses, hunt, and then have a picnic outside the city together, we can't let you work all the time, let's combine work and rest, and walk." ”

Zhang Yi, who also wanted to find an opportunity to sell Ding Yao, directly ordered today's big holiday, let Guan Yu call everyone out, and then went to the east of the city to ride and shoot together, among the people who accompanied him, except for the Xianbei generals, almost all arrived, Zhang Yi was even more enthusiastic to introduce Ding Yao to the people he looked at and matched with Ding Yao, but Ding Yao said in public that he liked Zhang Yi, which made the scene very embarrassing for a while, and directly caused Zhang Yi to return to his mansion, and was pulled out by the three daughters to go through the hall, fortunately, the three girls are not stingy people, And Zhang Yi also has a hard time, plus Ding Yao is also a likable girl, and in the end, the three daughters actually began to instigate Zhang Yi to marry Ding Yao, which made Zhang Yi cry and laugh.

At first, Zhang Yi thought that the third daughter said that he would marry Ding Yao, that is, he just said that, he didn't believe that the third daughter would be generous to that extent, but it turned out that he did underestimate the third daughter, and the third daughter asked Zhang Chong to go to Ding's mansion to propose marriage the next day, and after Zhang Yi knew about it, nothing could be changed.

After learning that Ding Yuan had come to the house and discussed the marriage with his grandmother, Zhang Yi directly ordered the flying pigeon to pass the letter to Zhuge Jue, ordering him to report to the emperor that he was going to marry Ding Yuan's daughter.

After all, Zhang Yi is a person with a title, according to the regulations of the imperial court, if a senior member of the court like him wants to marry a wife, he must report to the imperial court, but Zhang Yi did not say that he wanted to marry four women at the same time, this is to make the emperor mistakenly think that Ding Yao is his wife, so the emperor will naturally not dare to move Ding Yao's position easily because he is afraid of Zhang Yi.

In order to achieve a stronger deterrent to the imperial court, Zhang Yi directly transferred 30,000 troops back to Hedong, and at the same time announced that he would marry in Anyi City, and also sent invitations to invite important officials from the court to come to Hedong County to watch the ceremony, among which He Jin, Shi Changshi, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao brothers and Dong Zhuo, etc., were among Zhang Yi's invitations.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the current Sun Liu Cao is not the original Sun Liu Cao, Sun Jian, who originally had less than 10,000 troops, now has 30,000 troops, Cao Cao's troops have expanded to 70,000, Liu Bei is more, there are already as many as 80,000, and most of their troops are adapted from the Yellow Turban rebels, which can be regarded as having a certain combat effectiveness, in addition to Sun Liu Cao, the combined strength of the Yuan brothers has reached 150,000, which is already a very powerful force.

After the rebellion in various places ended, Liu Yan was transferred back to Luoyang, where he met Zhuge Jue, Zhuge Jue according to Zhang Yi's plan, Zhuge Jue gave him two suggestions, the first let him ask for orders to go to the land of Bashu, and the second let him suggest to the emperor that the clan and important ministers should be the state pastors, and override the assassin and the Taishou in the local area, and monopolize the power, in order to better stabilize the people and prevent things similar to the Yellow Turban Rebellion from happening again.

The suggestion of abolishing Shi Limu was originally Liu Yan to Luoyang, and his staff gave him attention, because after being transferred back to Luoyang, Liu Yan was very confused, and as a relative of the Liu family, he was extremely resentful of the corruption of the court, the filth of the officials, the control of the government by eunuchs and relatives, and the mediocrity of the emperor, he felt that he could not change this situation by himself, and then it was because of the advice given to him by the staff that he decided to divide Yizhou and stand on his own, and now Zhang Yi passed through Zhuge Jue's mouth, brought up the two points at once, which made Liu Yan suddenly have a refreshing feeling.

Liu Yan, who was bright and bright, entered the palace the next day to face the saint, and proposed to Emperor Han Ling to abolish Shi Limu's suggestion, and also proposed that he wanted to go to Yizhou, when Emperor Han Ling was a little blind, he recruited He Jin and Shichang into the palace and asked what they meant, and at this time Zhuge Jue happened to enter the palace to report to the emperor the meaning of Zhang Yi's marriage.

Of course, He Jin himself disagreed with the policy of abolishing Shi Limu to weaken He Jin's strength, and the Ten Standing Servants have always been very jealous of He Jin's use of the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to develop his local power in a big way, and they are very supportive of Liu Yan's suggestion, so before Zhuge Jue's arrival, the two sides have been arguing, but when everyone learned the news that Zhang Yi was going to marry Ding Yuan's daughter, they were all dumbfounded, and they even forgot about the argument.

He Jin was a little confused by the news of the marriage between Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan, because he had already told Dong Zhuo that he was ready to take over and merge the state, so he didn't know how to get it for a while, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Yan once again said that Shi Limu and the matter of entering Yizhou were abolished, and Emperor Han Ling agreed after thinking about it, He Jin wanted to oppose this matter, it was too late.

The reason why Emperor Ling of Han agreed to Liu Yan's suggestion was mainly because of Zhang Yi's problem, he wanted to use the opportunity of abolishing Shi Limu to suppress Zhang Yi, and he even thought about who to send to Bingzhou to be the pastor of Bingzhou, and at the same time thought about how to place Ding Yuan, and also thought about who to take over the post of assassin of Bingzhou.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty decided to send Liu Huai, the king of Mu who went to the labor army last time, to serve as the governor of the state to restrict Zhang Yi, and then let Ding Yuan serve as the Taishou of Taiyuan, while Zhang Yi concurrently served as the assassin of the state, and at the same time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also issued an edict and canonized Ding Yao as Linle Hou, giving Zhang Yi a big face.

In the Han Dynasty, because there was no such title as Mrs. Command, the court wanted to reward the wives of important ministers, and generally named a lady with a name and rank, for example, Liu Bang once sealed the wives of some founding heroes as Mrs. Min and Mrs. Jing, where Min and Jing are not surnames, but official names.

In addition to the lady with the title, for some extremely important ministers, the Han Emperor will also seal some empty titles and titles to show grace, such as Liu Bang sealed the brother who died early, Liu Bo's wife was Yin Anhou, Xiao He's wife was named Hou, Fan Xu's wife was later named Linguang Hou by Empress Lu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also respected the mother of the Empress Wang Zang as the king of the plains, etc., this is the grace given by the emperor of the Han Dynasty in order to win the hearts of the important ministers in the court, but Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not expect that he was a marquis, How much trouble it will bring to Zhang Yi.

Of course, Zhang Yi's trouble is a later story, because when Emperor Han Ling had not yet made trouble for Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi first created a big trouble for Emperor Han Ling, and on the third day after Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan's edict was issued, Liu Huai, the king of Mu, was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed, and then Emperor Han Ling and the general He Jin were dumbfounded.
